The arrival of Shi Xiangyun caused Jia Mu to miss her happy time in the Shi family's youth and youth, and talked about the old story of kowtowing to the piercing pavilion.

On the afternoon of June 8, Jia Mu invited Aunt Xue to listen to the opera in the side hall in the Jia Mansion again. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Baoyu, Daiyu, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Youshi, and Qin Keqing accompanied her.

Looking at the character "singing and doing beating" on the stage, Jia Baoyu, who was sitting beside Jia Mu, yawned a big yawn, turned his head and said to Daiyu: "Sister, it's really boring, not as good as the american ghost story written by Brother Huan."

I watched the ghost story Shi Xiangyun was late last night when I saw it from Jia Huan. He was a little inactive.

Daiyu nodded, covered her mouth with a fan, and whispered to Baoyu: "There are many twists and turns and sorrows that are worse than the ending."

Shi Xiangyun was lively and cheerful, and interrupted, "I think the ending of Brother Huan is not well written. How good is Nie Xiaoqian, but in the end he couldn't be with Ning Shusheng. It's strange to be fooled."

At this time, the play was just over and the rest was resting. Everyone could hear Shi Xiangyun's words clearly. Xue Baochai pursed her lips and smiled faintly, drinking fragrant tea. She had not read the "A Chinese Ghost Story". Li Wan felt a little bit in her heart, but she never said a word.

The storybook was at this time when Jia Tanchun said, "That's because the ending of the tragedy is more touching than the ending of the drama." This is Jia Huan's original words replying to her. The version written by Jia Huan is a movie version of Leslie Cheung and Joey Wong. The male and female protagonists did not end up together.

Shi Xiangyun disagreed and said, "Third sister, is it a great reunion that makes people feel more comfortable. Did Sister Lin fall asleep after watching it?" As she said that, she giggled. This was making fun of Daiyu.

Daiyu angrily angered Shi Xiangyun and said softly: "I fell asleep. I watched it in the afternoon. I missed the afternoon nap. I naturally fell asleep at night."

Daiyu answered correctly. Everyone laughed.

At this time, the layout of the flower hall was filled with Mu Jia, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng, Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Baoyu. Li Wan, Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun, Daiyu, and Baochai sat on the table.

Seeing that the little girls were chatting enthusiastically, Baoyu also sat down and looked around. Everyone was resting: drinking tea, eating fruits, and drinking mung bean soup to relieve the heat. He asked with a smile: "What are you little people talking about?"

The old man likes the excitement.

Shi Xiangyun was quick to speak, and saw Jia Tanchun wink at all, stood up, and replied cheerfully: "Old ancestor, we are telling a wonderful story. There are swordsmen, ghosts, scholars, and underworlds."

Jia Mu nodded slightly and said happily: "Is it Journey to the West or Water Margin? I remember that there seems to be no swordsmen in Journey to the West."

The mandarin duck standing beside Grandmother Jia said with a gaze: "Our ancestors have a good memory! There are fairies holding swords in Journey to the West."

Everyone in the flower hall laughed, with different appearances and expressions.

Wang Xifeng is a person who knows the inside story. She had someone collected Jia Huan's "black materials". At this time, she smiled and said, "Oncestor, you probably haven't heard of this story. I heard that he is a talented man and beautiful woman..."

When Jia Mu heard the four words "talented man and beautiful woman", the smile on her face slowly faded and she frowned slightly.

Any story about talented men and beautiful women is mostly about teaching women to pursue free love and criticizing feudal ethics. For example: Peony Pavilion and the West Chamber. This is exactly what feudal parents dislike the most. Marriage emphasizes the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. How can the younger generation decide on themselves?

Wang Xifeng made another blow at the right time, "I heard that it was written by Brother Huan and sold to booksellers on the market, and it costs 30 taels of silver."

Jia Mu had no choice but to see Jia Huan in her heart. When she heard that this "big rebellious" novel was written by Jia Huan, poisoning her granddaughter, granddaughter, and niece's thoughts, her face suddenly became gloomy. She paused the crutch at her hand and shouted: "It's outrageous! Go and call Brother Huan for me."

Wang Xifeng was about to sit down and have tea with a smile, and called Jia Huan to see Mu Jia naturally not her turn to go in person.

Amber and Ping'er in Jia Mu's room turned around and went out to find Jia Huan.

Ping'er sighed softly. Brother Huan is an 8-year-old child. Even if he is precocious, how could he be his grandmother's opponent? Grandma was very dissatisfied with the fact that he came to deliver the invitation that day.

The news that "Jia Huan wrote a message in the mansion before was released to sell money for "Jia Huan's writing a message book" was just a smoke bomb that numbed him. Today is the "trump card"!

If the old lady is evil, Brother Huan will have a hard time in the future.

…

…

After Ping'er and Amber left, Jia Mu had a calm face and the atmosphere was a little depressed. Everyone was waiting for the result.

Qin Keqing, who was sitting next to Wang Xifeng, was a charming beauty with a graceful figure and talented national character. She had always had a good relationship with Wang Xifeng, and her bright eyes were bright like water. She asked in a low voice: "Second Aunt, what's going on?"

Wang Xifeng chuckled with her lips and said in a low voice: "Just watch the show."

Jia Huan dared to "title" her tiger beard because of his cleverness. He made trouble on Tai Sui's head. If he didn't teach him a good lesson, he really didn't know how many eyes Mr. Ma had.

Qin Keqing said "yes" and stopped talking.

…

…

Li Wan, Baochai, Baoyu, Daiyu and the others also stopped discussing the story of the Ghost Story of the Chinese Girl.

Shi Xiangyun looked annoyed, and she knew that she was about to get into trouble.

Seeing that everyone was "just hang up" with "no matter" attitude, Tanchun felt so angry and worried. She didn't blame Shi Xiangyun. The main reason for this was Wang Xifeng's words to the old lady.

"I hope the third brother will be fine."

…

…

Although Jia Huan had a premonition, he would never imagine how he would step onto the central stage of the Jia Mansion.

On the afternoon of June 8, when he was studying "The Analects of Confucius" with Lin Juren in the study courtyard of Jia Mansion, a servant came in to pass the message: "Third Master, Miss Ping'er and Amber are waiting for you in the second gate, and the old lady asks you to see her."

Lin Juren looked furious. As a teacher, he naturally disgusted others to break into his classroom without authorization. But the word "get out" had not yet been expressed, and he suppressed it. He knew the status of the old lady in the Jia family.

Jia Huan ignored the arrogant servant and stood up to salute Juren Lin, "Please forgive me. The student will go inside and continue to listen to Mr.'s teachings when he comes back."

Juren Lin only saw the servant breaking into the classroom without permission, and knew that Jia Huan was afraid that something would happen. Jia Huan respected his teacher and made him feel a little angry, and he encouraged him in a vague way: "Go. A gentleman is open and honest!"

"Mr. Xie." Jia Huan looked at Jia Cong worriedly, Jia Lan smiled and calmly followed the servant away from the study.

The study courtyard originally had a corridor and the courtyard connected to the second gate. It turned out to be used for Baoyu and Ying, and to visit, and to study. At the second gate, I saw Ping'er, Humber, and a few maids and mothers.

Since Jia Baoyu threw jade in Jia Huan's house at the end of February, the storm has spread. Basically, the people in Jia Mu's Court have no good feelings for Jia Huan. Amber said with a cold face: "Third Master, let's go! The ancestors are still waiting."

Jia Huan glanced at Amber, the eldest maid in Jia Mu's room, with an average appearance. He snorted coldly in his heart. He ignored Amber and followed everyone to Jia Mu's courtyard. After thinking about it, he asked Ping'er who was walking beside him, "Sister Ping'er, is there anything my ancestors have to ask me?"

Jia Huan is also confused now.

Ping'er was wearing an emerald green double-breasted jacket and a handsome face. She was kind-hearted and said in a breath: "San Master, please stop asking me, it's time to think about what I have written recently."

Jia Huan knew what he had written when he got Ping'er's reminder. There were only two articles that Jia Mu could know. First, the Chinese Ghost Story Book he sold to Jia Baoyu. Second, he wrote to Shi Xiangyun the night before yesterday to read the short story "Yingning" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

As for the "Love Ai Lian Sayings", this is an article written by Zhou Dunyi, the master of the science of science. If Jia Mu dares to question it, it would be a joke! If he was not a child of the Jia family, he would definitely dare to curse in person: "How dare the village woman in the village insult the master's words?"

Of course, this can only be heard in his heart. Who asked him to wear it on Xiao Jia Huan? The younger generation scolded the elders, which was definitely a matter of seeking a blow. Jia Huan had to admit that he didn't like the power of the feudal family like Jia Mu.

When Jia Huan's mind was turning, he soon arrived at the side hall in Jia Mu's courtyard. The opera troupe had already stopped. Everyone in the room was sitting silently. When they heard the sound from the eaves and steps outside the door, they were all slightly excited. The master was here.

Mrs. Wang raised her eyes and continued to count the sandal beads in her hand. Aunt Xue was drinking tea, but she couldn't tell what she was in. You Shi, Qin Keqing and others were all irrelevant people, just look at Jia Mu's handling. Wang Xifeng looked at the door with a smile, and a hint of spicy color flashed across her eyes.

Jia Baoyu, Dai, Chai, Shi, Ying, Xi, and Tanzan were all very clear and confident. Only Tanchun clenched his fists under the table, and his palms were slightly ached.

Jia Huan walked in with a literati straight, held his head up, and paused on purpose. He was not interested in kowtowing to Jia Mu and others.

Sure enough, Jia Mu was angry and asked without waiting for Jia Huan to kneel down to pay his respects, "Brother Huan, you are so brave! You dare to write a 'talk of 'talks of talented men and beautiful women' for your sisters. Didn't you wrongly accuse me?"

Jia Huan bowed to Jia Mu, bowed his head and said, "Go back to my ancestors, grandson doesn't know what you are talking about?"

"A bastard, I won't admit it!" Jia Mu shivered in anger and said to Aunt Xue: "I have not disciplined him strictly in the past, so I will make my aunt laugh."

Aunt Xue quickly comforted the old lady.

Wang Xifeng put down the tea bowl with a smile, and Danfeng glanced at Jia Huan, "Brother Huan, now you can recognize it. Brother Bao and the others read that the storybook was not written by you, was it transformed out of thin air? I heard that your second brother Lian said, you invited him to have dinner at Zuixianlou and admitted in person that you earned 30 taels of silver by selling the storybook."

"Oh..." A gentle admiration and regret sounded in the flower hall. Wang Xifeng's words were too credible.

"Oh?" Jia Huan smiled at Wang Xifeng, his teeth were white and his tone was very icy, and he mocked: "Second sister-in-law, I know you, do you know it?"

"Wow!"

The whole audience was in an uproar!
